Dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid can be used to plump out wrinkles and deep lines that occur with age to help restore a fuller and more youthful complexion. Fillers can be used to restore volume and contour the face, whether it be for beautification or rejuvenation. When injected into the lips they can help restore definition to the lip or just help produce a more hydrated and voluminous look.
Hyaluronic acid is a modified form of a chemical found naturally within the skin that helps to hydrate and retain moisture. When injected into the skin or lips it plumps the area leaving natural-looking, long-lasting results that can be appreciated straight away. At There You Glow Aesthetics I only use non-permanent fillers that can be reversed if required making for a much safer experience.
Only high-quality products that comply with UK safety standards are used. Brands used include Teoxane and Restylane. Each product contains lidocaine to help make the experience as comfortable as possible. Numbing cream is also applied to the skin before the treatment to further ensure patient's comfort. Various techniques are used to create a bespoke treatment for each patient using a needle or cannula or a combination of both.
As Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a natural component of the skin, it is naturally metabolised, meaning all forms of HA fillers are temporary, requiring a future top-up. The longevity of results varies depending on the area of the face where fillers are used.
The dermal fillers gels I use at There You Glow have lidocaine in them to ensure that patients are more comfortable during and after the treatment. A topical numbing cream is also applied to the area before treatment.
There can be redness, swelling and bruising at the site of injection. It can feel a little lumpy for a few days. This will settle.
As with all medical treatments, however safely performed, there are risks. You will be fully informed of the risks and given time to ask any questions during the consent process.
Dermal fillers and skin rejuvenation you can see the effects immediately although there will be a little swelling which will settle in a day or two.
Dermal fillers in the cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, chin and jaw last about 12-24 months, lips about 6-9 months.
No, but the medical questionnaire you will complete beforehand will let me know of any allergies, medications or conditions you do have that we might need to discuss further.
I advise you not to drink alcohol or take Ibuprofen within the preceding 24hours of your appointment, as this can increase the risk of bruising.
